Meetings are to be held every Sunday

tons taken to pay the expenses of the en-

This is a very worthy enterprise, but its
founders claim too much for it when they
think they can abolish poverty" The
poor we have always with Us, and will
have as long as human nature remains the
same. From the dawn Of history the
world has had riches and poverty, sickness
and health, joy and sorrow, sunshine and
shadow, and no decree Of any society or
organization can reverse the general current
Of events any more than it can reverse
the action Of the ocean tides. To do this
would require a miracle and men don't
work miracles in these days
The most than can be done is to tenn
porarily relieve some of the present pow
erty and tell the people in what lies sue

persons so instructed benefit by the advice
depends upon themselves The lazy man
cannot be made industrious, the intern
perate man temperate, nor the shiftless

A STRANGE PROCEEDING.

The Republicans have never thought 1t
possible for the present Legislature to elect
a Republican United States Senator. All
the members of the Legislature have had
no other idea than that Democrat would
ell the place. The Democrats have the
majority, and it was supposed that they
would keep their ranks closed up and elect
q man.
Yet an unusual course Of proceedings
has been witnessed from certain Republic
San would-be leaders. Every Republican
who has dared to express or act any sentl-
ments of his own as to what
Democrat could best represent the State
in the National Senate, seeing that DEM
ocrat must be chosen, has been called
traitor" ''bOodler," ''turncOat," ''ras-
cal. ETC., etc. No term was too eontemp-
tible or no vituperatiOn too mean to be APP
piled to these Republicans. 1t has been
demanded that these members surrender
every opinion of their own and follow the
dictates of these fishwives who are mas
querading under the cloak OF would-be
leaders.
What has been the object of this strange
action on the part Of certain Republican
politicians? Have they expected to gain
partisan advantage thereby? Most likely.
But demanding of men to sacrifice their
manhood on the pretext that perchanCe
some petty advantage may be obtained in
the dim and misty future, even if it sacri-
tee the best interests Of the people, is not
very likely to increase the harmony nor
strength Of a party.
No one has asked us for this Hence
we make no charge for it.

EFFECT OF THE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE LAW ON THE THEAT-

EFFECI VI Ill r IN lElE-H M r
COMMERCE. LAW ON THE THEAT-
RICAL PROFESSION.
The construction the railroads have
placed upor the Interstate Commerce law
as regards special rates 10 theatrical COM
panieS, will press very heavily upon many
and the result will be that only the most
popular players can keep the field This,
of course, will be disappointment and
loss to the less popular trOupes.
But may il not he better for the public?
And the good Of the public is what we are
interested i'm.
Actors who stand in the front rank will
continue to keep the road and be popular,
and the people will hear only the best
plays from the best theatrical talent, so
far rs travelling companies are
concerned. Their ears will not
so much as formerly be split by the
rantmg of alleged "stars" nor will the pub
Tic so often be taken in by sensational
attractions that wander over the coun-
try, never stopping twice in the same
town.
Will not this be a public gain?
And then, the new regime will revive
local theatrical companies and call out and
cultivate the best local dramatic talent
Better and purer plays will be given in
this way and better playing be done than
by the ordinary wandering stars" PeO-
pie know just what they may expect from
local actors and the actors know what the
people expect. If they can't entertain,
people will soon quit going to see them,
and that is the end of il.
So, taking it all in al, the theater loving
public need not shed tears over the work
ings of the new law.
